Hello,
I went to a workshop held by Ingenix last year and wanted to get a consensus on what others think. Does the diagnosis that are being billed need to be listed under the assessment and plan? I have some physicians that will list the diagnosis in the HPI sometimes or other areas of the note. Would I be considered too conservative if I instructed my physicians to only list the diagnosis under the assessment and plan or can they get away with listing them throughout their note?
Thank you,
